  1. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    NewTexasRN replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Actually there is a very simple way to handle it. You can tell the person that you will find a chaplin or a religous person to take care of their spiritual needs. Patients actually have a right to...

  2. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    NewTexasRN replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Wow, I honestly feel for you. I'm in the same boat too. One of my classmates always said, "C = RN." I took that from her and I always stuck with it. Does it make me feel as if I will be less of nurse...

    NewTexasRN replied to edisonnurse's topic in Psychiatric

  5. Is it possible to get married while going through Nursing School????

    NewTexasRN replied to TexasGirl24's topic in General Students

    Don't do it. It's not a smart choice. One of my friends failed out because she got married right in the middle of her first semester. If you have the rest of your lives to spend together why can't you...

  7. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    NewTexasRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    NewTexasRN replied to stormymemphis's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First let me say, congrats to scrna3851 on getting into CRNA school. I had some doubts too because my grades in my ADN program are B's and C's. I thought my chances of getting into a CRNA program were...

  12. White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    NewTexasRN replied to abbaking's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's not that bad. I did an externship at hospital where nurses were required to where white and it wasn't that bad. Plus, you're not a female who has to worry about getting your pant stained. It's...

  13. Crocs?

    NewTexasRN replied to oohappyday's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Apparently some hospitals are banning crocs because of the holes in them, but you can buy the ones without the holes. I had to pay $39 bux too, but they were worth

  14. Nursing Dominated by Women, CRNA's are Mostly Men?

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    dkbmcclellan, I see what you mean. I never really thought of it that way before. You are right. I'm young right now. I have no children or any kind of responsibility like that so it would be easier...

  15. Nursing Dominated by Women, CRNA's are Mostly Men?

    NewTexasRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've been thinking about this for a little while, but we all agree that nursing is dominated by a females without a doubt. Well, why is that most of the CRNA's out there are men if they are more...

  16. Crocs?

    NewTexasRN replied to oohappyday's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm still fairly new to the medical field and honestly I was always in soooo much pain after 12 hrs on my feet. It wasn't until I discovered the crocs that I finally got relief. I don't wear the ones...

  17. Am I Weird? I Love Med-Surg!

    NewTexasRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I first started out in nursing school, my problem was spending way too much time with one patient. Our instructors only assigned us to one pt and I enjoyed that. I got used to it for a long time,...

  18. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    NewTexasRN posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Last week I helped a male nurse insert a Foley catheter and it felt inappropriate for a man to do it. It almost felt like rape. Am I justified for feeling this

  19. Am I Weird? I Love Med-Surg!

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I never really liked med-surg. I thought it would be boring! The weird thing is my long term goal is to be a CRNA. That means I will have to work in the

    NewTexasRN replied to SBCHEV99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  22. ICU Help!

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you've seen my other posts squirtle but I did not enjoy my externship at the other hospital. However, I love working as a tech at the other hospital. My only issue is that the hospital...

  23. ICU Help!

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

  24. ICU Help!

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, actually I do agree with you on some level, but I don't follow that "task oriented" protocol as you say. I did an externship on a cardiac med-surg floor and I did learn a lot. I never viewed the...
